This section contains important information about how other OmniSwitch features interact with Access 
Guardian. Refer to the specific chapter for each feature to get more detailed information about how to 
configure and use the feature.

The Access Guardian User Network Profile (UNP) feature provides the ability to assign a list of QoS 
policy rules to a profile. The rules contained in the list are applied to any device that is assigned to the 
UNP. Consider the following guidelines when configuring policy lists for user profiles:

• QoS policy rules and policy lists are configured using the QoS switch feature. Configuration of these 

items is required before the list is assigned to a UNP.

• Configuring QoS policy lists is not allowed if VLAN Stacking Services or if QoS inner VLAN or inner 

802.1Q tag policies are configured for the switch.

• Only one QoS policy list per UNP is allowed, but multiple profiles can use the same UNP. Up to 13 

policy lists (including the default list) are allowed per switch. 

• A default QoS policy list always exists in the switch configuration. Any QoS policies that are not 

assigned to a user profile belong to the default list, unless specified otherwise when the policy is 
created. 

• If a QoS policy list is configured for a user profile, only the policy rules in the list are applied to traffic 

from devices to which the profile was applied. Any default list policy rules are not applied in this case.

• If a QoS policy list is not specified for a user profile, then any policies from the default list are applied 

to profile devices.

• If a policy rule is enabled, it is active for all policy lists to which it belongs. If one of the policy lists is 

disabled, the rule is still active for all the other lists.

• If a policy rule is disabled, it is no longer active in any policy list to which it belongs, even if the list is 

still enabled.
